I have a TMB Proplex from Mike Pyle that I use with my GLD80 to either a AR2412 or a AB168. I got a 100' model and if I were doing it again I would get 150'. Initially it was a bit stiff but by the time I got 4 or 5 gigs on it, it loosened up and made for easy over/under coiling.

These three cables all seem to be solid core, not stranded. Solid tends to be stiffer than stranded, and is not made for repeated bending. I would buy a stranded one.

Stranded CAT cable has much more reactance, and is generally not recommended unless it is limited to short runs. Some CAT snake systems have stranded for short runs ("tails") out of the cable reels (where there would be a lot of flexing) while using solid for the long runs. It varies for type and from manufacturer to manufacturer.

I was under the understanding that if the cable was "cat" certified, the actual makeup was irrelevant to performance.
